This is timely! My inspection of the throttle box discovered one of the cable connections was very frayed right at the TH03 throttle cable eye, hanging by threads!So I am looking at my options to stay with a similar install or going to solid wire. I imagine to stay “stock”I will need to order a new cable with the TH03 cable eye connected assuming they are available?
Other wise going Erich’s route, which allows me to order via aircraft spruce.
For those of you who haven’t inspected this for a while, might be worth a look.
Thanks for any further thoughts.

Kingsley,
I used solid stainless steel Bowden wire, .078" diameter. As I did my own firewall forward I purchased bicycle cable, removed the twisted wire and inserted the solid Bowden wire. Regarding the connection to the throttle lever, I used AN111 Cable bushings as pictured below. Both items were purchased from Aircraft Spruce. Simply bend the end of the Bowden cable around the bushing forming a closed question mark (?) and secure it with Redux or JB Weld. Attach the cable to the throttle lever as per the Europa instructions. 17+ years of trouble free operation. Works a treat.
Regards,
Erich
